Pacific Rim would have been great... if I was a little kid. But alas those days are over. I'm a big fan of Godzilla and stuff. So I did like all the giant fight scenes in it. But the movie had too much of a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers aspect to it. Definitely could have used a touch more Ron Perlman. I give it a C+

You clearly didn't smoke enough.
The goal of Pacific Rim was to completely turn your brain OFF.
Then the movie is excellent.
If, at any point, you think about what is happening, you lose.
